Mar. 28th, 2018 07:55 pmHELLO AGAIN, FELLOW APOCALYPSE AND DYSTOPIA ENTHUSIASTS!
Exogeddon is back for its second round! We hope you're all as excited for round two as we are, because there are lots of good things in store for you this year! Using the results of the survey we posted a short while ago, the mods will do their very best to provide everyone with the best possible experience.
Want to know what you need to do in order to participate? Then here are the rules!
● Absolutely no plagiarism will be tolerated.
Whether it’s taken from another work of fanfiction or a published work, you are not allowed to take words that are not yours.
● Noncon, dubcon, and pedophilia are strictly unallowed.
If a prompt is submitted with these themes, it will be deleted (with notice, of course). If a fic is submitted with these themes, we will inform the author and give them a chance to revise it if they are willing to. Otherwise, the fic will not be posted. HOWEVER, hinting at these themes are a-okay, as long as it is not explicit!
● You must be committed, or at least willing to communicate.
As writers ourselves, we understand the stress of meeting deadlines, so you can definitely count on us to be lenient with giving extensions, help, etc. However, we expect a response of some sort, so if you are unable to make a deadline, please inform us instead of leaving us hanging. This can be avoided by regularly checking your email and following us on twitter for updates on deadlines. You may email us, or DM us on our twitter.
● All genres are welcome!
We are definitely encouraging creativity! Do you have a zombie comedy/crack fic in mind? Or maybe a horror dystopian? Perhaps a slower paced slice-of-life taking place in the post apocalypse better suits your tastes? Whatever genre you have in mind - romance, action, mystery - don’t be afraid to prompt it/write it, as long as it has elements of the apocalypse/dystopia!
● All members are welcome!
Former members Kris, Luhan, and Tao will always be a part of EXO in our hearts, and therefore, they are definitely allowed here!
● Main pairings must be EXO/EXO only.
Side pairings are allowed to have EXO/another group member, but when it comes to the main pairing, this is an EXO fest, so we’d prefer the main pairing to be EXO/EXO.
● Check-in word count is 1,000. Final drafts must be 2,000 or greater.
● Please keep your prompt secret for the duration of the fest!
You may tell a beta or two what your prompt/fic is, but please remain hidden until reveals!
